यह एक ऐसे बालक की कहानी है, जो लकड़ी के कोयले से ताजा पुताई वाली दीवारों पर चित्र बनाते हुए बड़ा हुआ और जिसने आगे चलकर अपने कलात्मक कौशल के दम पर 'राजा' की पदवी प्राप्त की। अपनी पत्नी के घर में काम करनेवाली एक नायर महिला का चित्र बनाने पर उन्हें जितने क्रोध का सामना करना पड़ा, उतना ही सम्मान भी मिला। अनेक आलोचकों और प्रशंसकों का ध्यान महाराष्ट्र की महिला सुगंधा के साथ उनके गहरे संबंध की ओर आकृष्ट हुआ, जो उनके सर्वाधिक प्रसिद्ध चित्रों की मेनका, दमयंती और उर्वशी बनी। रवि वर्मा भारत के सबसे प्रसिद्ध चित्रकार थे। वे जितने विवादित थे, उतने ही प्रतिभावान। उन्होंने हिंदू देवी-देवताओं को मंदिर से बाहर लाकर सामान्य लोगों के घरों तक पहुँचाया और अपने ब्रश के स्पर्श से इतिहास की अनेक हस्तियों एवं पलों को अमर कर दिया। यूरोपीय कला से पूरी तरह प्रभावित वर्मा को अनेक अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्पर्धाओं में यश मिला और देश की कई रियासतों ने उन्हें सम्मानित किया। ऐसा कहा जाता है कि स्वामी विवेकानंद ने उनसे अपना छायाचित्र बनवाया था। सांस्कृतिक इतिहास से समृद्ध और ब्रिटिश राज की पृष्ठभूमि में लिखा गया प्रसिद्ध मराठी लेखक राजा रवि वर्मा के जीवन पर केंद्रित रणजीत देसाई का यह उपन्यास हमें भारत के पहले और महान् कलेंडर आर्टिस्ट के जीवन से जुड़ी कई नई बातों को जानने और उनके मन को समझने का अवसर देता है।

Through exquisite artworks, glittering jewellery and weaponry discover how Ranjit Singh, one of the greatest figures in the history of India, established a hugely influential Sikh Empire at the beginning of the 19th century.Through a stunning selection of over one hundred key objects from the Sikh Empire drawn from major private and public collections, explore how a voracious warrior-king named Ranjit Singh brought about a golden age in Punjab where trade boomed, the arts flourished and a formidable army was developed along European lines to keep any British, Afghan, Persian or Russian threat at bay. Backed by the tactical support of a guileful mother-in-law and a holy man with a penchant for warfare, Ranjit Singh would emerge as the region’s undisputed ‘maharaja’ or Great King at the beginning of the nineteenth century. His meteoric rise to power ushered in a short-lived but hugely influential Sikh Empire that would inextricably impact on the fortunes of Britain’s empire in the Indian subcontinent. This book, published to coincide with an exhibition at the Wallace Collection, features historic artworks, jewellery and weaponry from Ranjit Singh’s court, courtiers and family members. Also highlighted are objects intimately connected with his son, Maharaja Duleep Singh – the deposed boy-king turned country squire who was a favourite of Queen Victoria and father of the prominent suffragette Princess Sophia Duleep Singh. Richly illustrated, this catalogue also reveals the achievements of Ranjit Singh’s European and American Officials. Acknowledging Ranjit Singh’s remarkable feat of holding back the threat of a British invasion for four decades, these ‘Firangis’ would nickname their esteemed Sikh sovereign ‘The Napoleon of the East’.
Empires do not become great on their own; it is their rulers to whom greatness is attributed. One such great empire was founded by a great king - the Sikh Empire of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. A warrior, military strategist, adventurer and secularist, Ranjit Singh fought his first battle alongside his father at the young age of 10. At the age of 21, he laid the foundation of the Sikh dynasty by uniting all the Sikh misls which were descending into anarchy and became the Maharaja of Punjab. Ranjit Singh's rule was tolerant towards all religions, and gave even the non-Sikhs the opportunity to assume important roles in its workings. The Sikh Empire grew larger and flourished under his reign and it was his military genius and formidable army which kept British invasion at bay. The great empire fell with the death of its true ruler as his successors were no match to his vision and vigour. Ranjit Singh AND THE SIKH BARRIER BETWEEN OUR GROWING EMPIRE AND CENTRAL ASIA Ranjit Singh and the Sikh Barrier between our Growing Empire and Central Asia is the story of the lan of the 'Lion of Punjab' and his unsurpassable bravery.
